A channel 4 science documentary from 2004. Details how cosmologists investigated the delicate mathematical balance of the universe, and its bizarre accuracy. It's a good intro (and replacement) to the video I wanted to post - but Google is sure its now 'unavailable'.

Benjee could you post the full google video link? Because for long stuff like this I like to download it.

KTHXBYE

I loved this, amazing documentary. I still like to believe that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

I personally can't wait to pass on and see what happens. Will life go on when I die? Will I just live in a dream state in those few seconds as my organs stop functioning? Will I experience something that our simplistic rational processes cannot understand?

If we are all just part of a large supercomputer bought by mice I will be so sad.

I take it your a Bill Hicks fan, then? "we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively" the rest of that is fitting for this comment "there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves".

I like his rollercoaster analogy "The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it; you think its real - because thats how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up & down, round and round - it has thrills and chills...But don't worry...this is just a ride"

VideoSift needs more Bill Hicks - will add a few...

Yes! Been a Bill Hicks fan for ages. The rollercoaster analogy, hell the whole routine he does is one the greatest things I have ever heard.

How cool am i iv met the dude at the begining was so funny everyone was tring to suck his willy with piontelss questions to try and establish themselfs as interlectual in his eyes he is like the pop star of pop scince people. lolz yah chan 4 haz these random documentires all the time so funny like the camra work is always so stupid its cool but its just funny now its like english mtv camra work but for scince documentires evry shot has a difrent lense filter oh and i can garentee thay will have at least one leftfild track ore oribital track becuse thay always use the same music to give the sence of scale and randomness to concepts.

This sounds like Morpheus' line from The Matrix movie.
